Now all that is left is the shootin. going to look into a CZ83 for a carry or possibly a bursa thunder. Never had the chance to shoot the CZ's but everyone that does sure seems to like them.
Good luck with CZ puppies, there could be a large litter.

Yes, cZs tend to breed!
What catches your eye for #3?

My vz82 is built like a tank, accurate, and reliable.

I rented a Bursa Thunder 380 and it nearly killed somebody. The hammer failed to drop the first 3 times I pulled the trigger and then it discharged when I didn't have my finger on the trigger. At least it was pointed down range. In addition, the slide release activated when I layed the gun down.

Probably a Kadet kit for the 75B. :D

My experience with the Bersa handguns could not be more different than that limited rental you experienced. I have two of the 380's, one is the Bersa Thunder, the other is the Firestorm (Same gun, made for export.). Both have had upwards of a thoudand rounds through them now, with various ammo and neither has ever failed at all. No FTF's, no FTE's. Both have been perfect. I like them very much.

Range Report

Basically the gun shot better than I do. I wear bifocals and, with the range being indoors and somewhat dark, I had to take them off so I could focus on the fiber optic front sight. I picked up a 50-round box of Remington FMC 115gr FMJ ammo from Wally World on the way to the range. The CZ shot flawlessly, considering my vision, and there were no malfunctions of any kind. The SA trigger was crisp and comparable to the 1911s I've shot. In addition, the ergonomics are fantastic.

Kadet kit is an excellent choice. Everyone with a cZ should have one. I like mine and every range visit, it gets a workout. The only drawback is the expensive magazines. Make certain you two magazines when you but.

Springfield P9

I bought a Springfield P9 back in 1990. It is basically a CZ75. Not sure where it was made, but it is good quality (except for a failed slide retaining pin) and it is accurate. I do not think they make them anymore, but I would recommend a used one if someone is looking for a CZ75.
